SAILING CROATIA - SHARPEN UP FLOTILLA Looking for an unforgettable sailing adventure in the Mediterranean? Look no further than our Sharpen Up Flotilla! Here are some key points to know: ** Charter one of our selected yachts from our preferred charter company. ** Flotilla runs from Saturday to Saturday. ** Yacht charter prices vary depending on the particular yacht chosen and include a flotilla fee, much less than the fee you would pay to have Nick training or skippering. ** We offer a range of support services such as transfers to and from the marina and initial provisioning. ** Flotilla is based out of Marina Baotič. ** The flotilla does not follow a strict pre-set weekly route, as we aim to be flexible not just to allow for weather but also to provide the best experience for all joining us. ** Mooring will normally be in a marina or on a town quay to allow everyone time to explore and enjoy the local offerings on the islands. ** Free teeshirts for two crew members and a discount on all 45D merch So what are you waiting for?

LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT 🔔 Watch next: ▶️ The Four Design Flaws That May Sink Your Boat - https://youtu.be/1Pts63seZYY Most people shopping for a catamaran never ask the dangerous questions. They compare layouts, finishes, and brochure numbers. But after losing our own boat, we stopped trusting marketing — and started pulling designs apart. In our last episode, we revealed 50+ features that make the Portofino 52 aluminium catamaran radically different from most production boats. It sparked a huge debate. So in this episode, we answer the questions everyone actually wants answered: • How much does the Portofino 52 really cost? • What’s included — and what’s optional? • What will it truly weigh when ready to cruise? • How fast will it sail in the real world? • Are these safety systems worth it — or just expensive complexity? We dive deep into real-world cruising performance, weight management, boom furling, lithium battery fire safety, system complexity, and why aluminium construction fundamentally changes offshore safety and comfort. This is not a sponsored review. We receive no commissions, no kickbacks, and no incentives of any kind. With 50+ years of combined sailing experience and 60,000+ offshore miles, we explain why displacement matters more than draft, what “comfortable speed” really means at sea, and why abandoning ship should never be the default plan. We also compare the Portofino 52 on price and design philosophy against other serious expedition catamarans including Garcia, McConaghy, and Kinetic, and explain why many production boats still carry design risks that matter if you’re crossing oceans. There are still unknowns — and we’re honest about them. We’ll share final sailing weight, performance numbers, and long-term reliability as this boat hits the water. If you’re planning serious cruising, offshore passages, or choosing your next catamaran — this conversation matters. Kick off your shoes and come barefoot with us. ⸻ 💬 Join the discussion: How do you balance performance, safety, and complexity on a cruising catamaran? 👣 About Us We’re the Barefoot Doctors — medical doctors and lifelong sailors living full-time aboard a performance expedition catamaran.
